Kawasaki Ki-91

Hey,

It’s my first post here, so first of all - hi everyone!

I want to share my project, which I finished a while ago. It’s Japanese heavy bomber prototype from World War 2 era - Kawasaki Ki-91. Model is based on original drawings.
Let me know what you think about it!



Great first post. Must admit I never knew the Japs were developing a heavy bomber. Learn something new every day.

At first glance, this plane looked like something between a B-24 and a B-17.

Thanks!
In fact Japan considered their two engine bombers as heavy at begging of the war. But afar from that, they developed few other true heavy bombers like G5N1 (failuare, changed to transport aircraft) and G8N1 prototype (Really great performance and defense armament, but average bomb load. War ended too soon for it though). Both were designed for Navy, in opposite to Ki-91.

Well, it actually have more in common with B-29 than to these two :wink:

That detailing and compositing is awesome…

Thanks, I’m glad you like it.
